[Verse 1: Jack Le Blancq]

So this is what you meant

When you said that you were spent

And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit

Right to the top

Don't hold back

Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check

[Pre-Chorus: Benjamin Duddy & Jack Le Blancq]

I don't ever wanna let you down

I don't ever wanna leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night

[Chorus: Jack Le Blancq]

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then, I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand?

That I'm never changing who I am

[Verse 2: Benjamin Duddy]

So this is where you fell

And I am left to sell

The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell

Right to the top

Don't look back

Turn in the rags and giving the commodities a rain check

[Pre-Chorus: Benjamin Duddy & Jack Le Blancq]

I don't ever wanna let you down

I don't ever wanna leave this town

'Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night

[Chorus: Benjamin Duddy & Jack Le Blancq]

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand?

That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand?

That I'm never changing who I am

[Bridge: Jack Le Blancq, Benjamin Duddy, Both]

This road never looked so lonely

This house doesn't burn down slowly

To ashes, to ashes

[Chorus: All]

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand?

That I'm never changing who I am

It's time to begin, isn't it?

I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit

I'm just the same as I was

Now don't you understand?

That I'm never changing who I am
